Re: [PLUG] Micro PC-Mini

+1 on this...

Stand for 6 hours building a rack or on the floor pushing configures to routers and you'll definitely get an appreciation for have a full featured 13" laptop with the dongle assortment. As much as I love my 14" Chromebook (that I can dual boot into Linux), the computer I carry with me is my ASUS 13". There are plenty of times where I have had to run VMs to assist in my work or take advantage of a medium to heavy resource portable system.

As someone spent a lot of time in data centers and cramped hospital network closets, I would prefer a small lightweight (13in) but fully functional laptop over this.

If I was making planned changes on a command line (say Cisco, or any # of firewall vendors) I would usually have the commands scripted out in a text file to copy and paste. I would like the screen real estate to have both open side by side.

For a while I complained about how serial ports went away, but USB-Serial adapters are easy to come by now (I probably have a handful lying around). I actually carry around a small bag with various cables, adapters, and live boot USBs (kali, etc).

And most importantly: this company hates left handed people.

It's the little things.
